FormatAll matches will be BO3 5v5 Infantry in Conquest Small on the following maps: Seine Crossing, Grand Bazaar, Operation Metro, Damavand Peak, Tehran Highway, and Strike at Karkand. Wins and losses will be determined on a per-round ticket basis (2 rounds per map). The team with the most tickets at the end of the map will emerge victorious. Starting ticket count for all maps will be 175, with no time limit.

If for example 12 "challenger" teams sign up, the tournament won't be extended to 16 slots?

Also originally the plans were to host this tournament on 120 hz servers, is there any progress in fixing recoil patterns for this tick rate or are we gonna play with random/broken recoil on multiple weapons?

Yes, that is an answer to your question.There's 4 pre-determined "legends" that are not revealed until the tournament starts and 4 teams chosen from all the signed up teams (however I don't know if they are chosen first-come-first-serve or differently).
